    Good discussion overall. Not just typical harden bashing you get from media. Still the most unfairly hated on player in sports IMO.

        I think he gets too much crap for his exits with the teams.

        Rockets wanted a restart. The Harden era was over and it was mutual.

        Brooklyn was a mess primarily because of Kyrie.

          What about being horrific to watch because of his foul baiting, horrendous flopping and awful defence

          Yall forget he was widely hated before asking out of Houston

            He’s lucky his hamstring injury happened the same season they changed the shooting foul rules

          its not just that he lost but how he performed

          • has shot under 30% in ~half of his career elimination games

          • holds playoff record for 13 turnovers in elimination game

          • averaged fewer points as a 76er than Ben Simmons in elimination games

    My honest opinion is that he’s most likely gay and when he goes to teams, it’s only a matter of time before they find out, and the team chemistry is thrown off because not everyone can accept a gay man in professional sports. The NFL tried with a couple of teams, but those players were eventually cut and you don’t hear much about the players anymore.

    Legler has had a hate boner for Harden for years. Nothing about a conversation with him about Harden is honest. Lol
